I have to agree with Maury.It was a threat but Obama was engaging in "Wag the Terrorists".

He was giving a shout out to the Jewish voters at election time to stick with the Democratic Party by saying, "Look, you may think I'm your everyday Israel hating Muslim, but I protected you, I protected you."

And he was likely worried his favorite Gay Chicago bathhouses would be destroyed in a blast. )))Not that there's anything wrong with our President being bisexual. )))

Baghdad in 2000: "A woman known as Um Haydar was beheaded reportedly without charge or trial at the end of December 2000. She was 25 years' old and married with three children. Her husband was sought by the security authorities reportedly because of his involvement in Islamist armed activities against the state. He managed to flee the country. Men belonging to Feda'iyye Saddam came to the house in al-Karrada district and found his wife, children and his mother. Um Haydar was taken to the street and two men held her by the arms and a third pulled her head from behind and beheaded her in front of the residents. The beheading was also witnessed by members of the Ba'ath Party in the area. The security men took the body and the head in a plastic bag, and took away the children and the mother-in-law. The body of Um Haydar was later buried in al-Najaf. The fate of the children and the mother-in-law remains unknown."
